Football stats question

Which would make it a TD pass for the QB and TD receiving for the one who scored.

It started out as a pass play with the initial pass and catch. The lateral is a continuation of that pass play.

I think this has come up before and the way Bud described it most people thought is the way it should be scored.

 

yeah, but technically speaking, is texas even a part of the united states?

 

In the first game of the season, Ronnie Brown took a handoff and fumbled 4 yards behind the line of scrimage where Chris Chambers picked it up and ran 5 yards, and Brown got credited with 1 yard rushing.

 

Not if we can help it.

 

Here's the play -- Brown got credited with a 5-yard loss. NFL's a different animal because they have miscellaneous yardage and fumble return yardage on offense, unlike colleges.
1-10-MIA 38 (9:56) R.Brown to MIA 33 for -5 yards (T.Polamalu). FUMBLES (T.Polamalu), recovered by MIA-C.Chambers at MIA 38.
C.Chambers to MIA 43 for 5 yards.

 

I'm now more confused than I was when I first read this thread.

Is this the consensus for NCAA rules?
-- Lateral receivee gets credit for rushing yardage from the spot of the lateral reception, but he does not get credit for a rush.

 

Receivee gets credit for receiving yards, but not a catch.

 

That's how the manual reads. That means you could have a final stat line for a player that shows no catches, but say 50 receiving yards and a score. That's just weird.

 

Thank God I've never seen a hook-and-lateral work for a TD in all of my 14 years of covering football.

So under A.R. 1, Allen could have "0-22" as his line in the rushing boxscore? So Allen's yards-per carry average would be INFINITY?

Yeesh.

 

It has to be like that otherwise, the boxscore wouldn't balance.

You'd have 20 completions for the QB, but when you'd add up the number of receptions, it'd be 21, which would be equally as weird.
